New Black-owned community space is one mother's beloved brainchild
Kristina Clark said Juneteenth was the perfect time to contemplate her new reading room and book store.
“This is something I’ve been working on for the past decade. Before I was even a mother. This idea came to me when I was working at Garfield High School,” Clark said.
The idea evolved from “The Living Room” to “The Loving Room” and will become a reality this summer.
Loving Room: Diaspora books & salon will be more than just a community book store. The gathering space will be located in the heart of Seattle’s Central District and aims to be a Black-owned community reading room featuring various genres of literature by Black and African writers for readers of all ages. Clark said she “aspires to cultivate a space for collective Black ancestral healing and transformation through a commitment to Black literature and African diasporic decolonial aesthetics.”
